15 settings, integrated scale, stainless conical burrs. $80-100. Best sub-$100 electric grinder — built-in scale doses by weight for consistency. Quiet motor. Cover all drip-to-French-press methods.
The OXO Brew Conical Burr Grinder is the strongest sub-$100 electric pick because of the integrated scale — you dose by weight instead of grinding for a fixed time, which produces more consistent doses across brew sessions and as the bean hopper empties. 15 grind settings cover the range from drip through French press, stainless conical burrs produce reasonably even particle size, and the motor is quieter than the Baratza Encore. The 15 settings are a meaningful step down from the Encore's 40 — there's less fine-tuning headroom — but for most home brewers running a single brew method, the resolution is enough. At $80-100, this is the best argument for not stepping up to the Baratza if budget is the constraint.
Pros
- Built-in scale doses by weight for repeatable shots
- Stainless steel conical burrs
- Quieter motor than the Baratza Encore
- Stays under the $100 budget threshold
Cons
- 15 settings are coarser than the Encore's 40
- Scale calibration drifts and needs occasional reset
